There's no perceivable difference whatsoever between those two shots.
BEFORE:
AFTER:
See if you can spot any meaningful differences.
Proof that graphically obsessed gamers are fucking crazy.
So either Watch Dogs looked good all along and people just wouldn't admit it or the power of 4K makes it look wonderful
Or the effect(s) that change are not demonstrated in the screenshots location/scenario. You need to test the exact same places effects etc otherwise you can't determine what exactly it does if it does anything at all.

That take advantage of the water and not looking at the street level. Last pic with the car looks mediocre
Not sure what to believe anymore.. Do I go back to my PS4 order, or do I stick with PC. Da fak....

To be fair many said -before the trick was unvealed- that the game looks just okay at day and splendid at night. Post more day comparisons, then.

A lot of the screenshots that made people go "holy shit omg deferred fx" are 4K screenshots taken before the setting was known about. Go to the screenshot thread I linked.

I'd be interested in seeing this also

Is there any chance that you have to restart the game, reboot your computer, spit twice over your left shoulder and bow to the east for the change to apply?

Yea, I'm pretty sure OP added those shots without realizing HolyFridge didn't enable deffered FX

Is there native 16:10 support this time or does ubisoft still hate us?
Also for those getting drops from 60-30 just enable triple buffering in direct3doverider fixed that issue in AC4 anyway

he had to have done that since the file has to edited while the game is not running so that shouldn't be an issue

It must be my 40+year old eyes because these pictures look exactly the same to me too.
Not sure if I believe that youtube clip posted. There's a few more around now that seem to suggest the performance is fine.
Running on a 670

That looks like it is only running on a single 760 not two. The sli profile may also be wrong. There are people with far worse systems doing far better

Look at the comment soulshot96 makes. That's the reason. Let's not jump into conclusions before the game is officially released.

That is ultra as well

People are so used to Steam and it's drm that they forget PC games used to be on disk and had other drm than steam.
Waiting for amazing amazon/steam sale.
After watching some vids the early parts of the game don't look too interesting. I hope later videos and content makes it look fun.

You can get it for $35 on ebay now. Unless you want to wait further reduction.

I'm not a technical speaking guy, but Deferred FX sounds like...I'm just gonna ask the Creative Director of the game, since that's something you can do these days.
It is not ultra as demonstrated in the first video. Textures are set to high not ultra, lod is set to ultra and several other things are on high
60-90 FPS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XacMxuAX9IQ
I'm not saying it does anything. I'm saying logically, from not even understanding what something is doing, yet claiming other particular shots are doing something different, you have to compare the exact same situations or test conditions rather than an independent one. Basic scientific method
Youtube videos without fraps are completely useless.

The dGPU setting is a lie

Aren't you enjoying the roller coaster ride?
More accurately, this is a overclocked 780 with an overclocked 4770k. It's barely above 60 fps on average and with extremely cheap AA, and dips to 20-30 when loading stuff.
So if this is confirmed, just forget about running this at 60 FPS on a 770 or 760 videocard. 30 FPS is instead doable.

or $23-$25 on cheapassgamer.
The entire physics pisses me off! Your car is some physically superior object that can jump long distances at low speeds yet plough through all cars and objects effortlessly tearing them like confetti while being practically immovable. Then your character has similar weirdness. There are clips of him crouching in the back of a truck, and the truck just smashes into walls while your character is just immobile and unmoved. It seems ridiculous to paint such a realistic world and have everything behave in such an over the top manner
